Are You Concerned About Inflation?

Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey is the most vocal and alarming figure in the finance world who is not just raising the alarms on the potential coming inflation issues but is banging bells and yelling from the towers about the possible coming problem.

Dorsey said in a tweet, "Hyperinflation is going to change everything. It's happening." When replying to another tweet about inflation, he went further to say, "It will happen in the U.S. soon, and so the world."

While there have been other big-name investors, bank c-suite members, Federal Reserve members, and even the Treasury Secretary indicate that inflation will happen. Some have even said it is a little higher than what they expected. However, not many have said Hyperinflation was coming and would happen soon in the U.S. and then the world.

While some have and will continue to dismiss Dorsey's claims, we all need to remember that he is the CEO of Square, the payment company. So theoretically, Dorsey has access to information that others may not have, which could give him a better insight into how fast prices are increasing and what products are seeing big increases, which would undoubtedly help guide the thinking that higher than expected inflation is on its way.

Navigating Volatility: Options-Based Portfolio

Introduction

Controlling portfolio volatility is essential as the broader markets continue to break record high after record high along with violent pullbacks. The past three-month stretch of September-November was a prime example as the markets pushed to new all-time highs early in September then suffered a significant sell-off in the same month where the Dow Jones was down as much as 6%. October saw a bounce back into positive territory with new all-time highs set. Then November saw a dichotomy between the Nasdaq continuing to break out to new highs while the Dow Jones experienced significant weakness.

Amid this mixed market and broader index bifurcation, entire sectors were decimated. The payment space was heavily impacted with PayPal (PYPL) and Visa (V) taking huge market capitalization reductions by 37% and 21%, respectively. Quarterly reports have been detrimental for companies that report slight misses or in-line numbers with poor guidance. Disney (DIS) and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) saw their stocks plummet 24% and 20%, respectively from their 52-week highs. An options-based portfolio can offer mitigation against these pockets of extreme volatility while generating consistent and smoother returns.

Options-Based Risk Mitigation

Risk mitigation can be achieved via a blended options-based approach where the portfolio is broken out into three components. Cash, long equity exposure, and an options component are the three pillars of an options-based portfolio strategy. Options alone cannot be the sole driver of portfolio appreciation. However, options can play a critical component in the overall portfolio construction to control volatility and mitigate risk. Continue reading "Navigating Volatility: Options-Based Portfolio"
